Capabilities

Tools

8 tools
get_place
Get one place in full
Fetch one place’s full record by slug (preferred, e.g. "neuschwanstein-castle") or exact name: coordinates, founding year, worldwide fame rank and tier, short description, photo URL, Wikipedia and Wikidata links, and a deep link that opens it on the map. Unsure of the slug? Call search_places first.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['place'], 'properties': {'place': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Slug (preferred, e.g. "colosseum") or exact name'}}}
get_statistics
Atlas statistics
Headline statistics computed live from the atlas: totals by kind, top countries, fame-tier sizes, dated-entry stats, geographic extremes and the most famous place. The source for aggregate claims like "how many castles are on Detourmap" or "which country has the most notable places".
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {}}
list_countries
Countries with place counts
Every country in the atlas with its place count, most first — answers "which country has the most notable places". Countries with eight or more places include a browsable index page URL.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {}}
list_kinds
The kinds of place on the map
The layers Detourmap carries — archaeological and nature — with worldwide counts and a browsable index page for each. The atlas is cut to these kinds and holds nothing else.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {}}
places_near
Find places worth a detour near a point
List notable places within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, most famous first (rank order), each with distance_km — the direct answer to "what is worth visiting near <place>?". Radius defaults to 50 km (max 500). Geocode the location yourself, then call this with its latitude/longitude. Filter by kind to answer e.g. "waterfalls near Zurich".
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['latitude', 'longitude'], 'properties': {'kind': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Kind of place — key or slug: ruins (Archaeological), natural (Nature) (optional)'}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 50, 'minimum': 1, 'description': 'Max results (default 15)'}, 'latitude': {'type': 'number', 'maximum': 90, 'minimum': -90}, 'longitude': {'type': 'number', 'maximum': 180, 'minimum': -180}, 'radius_km': {'type': 'number', 'maximum': 500, 'minimum': 1, 'description': 'Search radius in km (default 50)'}}}
random_place
A random place worth a detour
One random place with its full record — deliberately biased toward the little-known long tail, like the site’s own "Surprise me" button. Optionally limit by country and/or kind. Great for discovery and "place of the day" features.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'kind': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Kind of place — key or slug: ruins (Archaeological), natural (Nature) (optional)'}, 'country': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Country name or ISO code (optional)'}}}
search_places
Search places by name
Search 39,832 notable places worldwide by name (accent- and case-insensitive substring match): archaeological and nature. Optionally filter by country (name or ISO code) and kind. Results come best-match-first, then by fame; each carries coordinates, fame rank/tier and links to the map and Wikipedia. If nothing matches, retry with a shorter fragment.
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['query'], 'properties': {'kind': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Kind of place — key or slug: ruins (Archaeological), natural (Nature) (optional)'}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 50, 'minimum': 1, 'description': 'Max results (default 10)'}, 'query': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Name or part of a name, e.g. "pyramiden" or "plitvice"'}, 'country': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Country name or 2-letter ISO code (optional)'}}}
top_places
Most famous places
The most famous places worldwide, in one country, or of one kind — ordered by Detourmap fame rank (derived from Wikipedia language coverage; rank 1 is the most famous). The direct answer to "most famous <kind> in <country>" and "what are the must-sees in <country>".
Input schema 
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'kind': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Kind of place — key or slug: ruins (Archaeological), natural (Nature) (optional)'}, 'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 100, 'minimum': 1, 'description': 'How many (default 10)'}, 'country': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Country name or ISO code (optional — omit for worldwide)'}}}
